nun wavnm m) conmnenon Application filed April 25, 1932. Serial No.867,413.

The objects of the invention are to provide anlimproved form ofconstruction for a permanent marcel waver, or curler, by means of whichthe waves can be made deeper andfull- 5 er and have a less artificialappearance than that of the flat permanent waves now pro,- duced bymachines uponthe market 7 By means of this device, hair waves areproduced which are laterally extended alter- 10 nately in oppositedirections thus producing alternating fluffy ridges and hollows giving'aperfect marcelled effect to the dressed hair.

The invention comprisesa waving and curling rod having an attachingmeans at its scalp end for securing firmly a strand of hair thereon,said rod having a wide helix thereabout, between the projecting bladesof which the strand of hair is tightly wound, the sides f of the bladesbeing inclined toward the central axis or the rod surface, theintervening grooves being deepen'ough to enclose a strand and to form'it into substantially non-symmetrical wedge shape in crosssection, withgreater depth along one edge of the strand than along the other, thusproducing a fuller;

and more raised effect when it is released from confinement in theelectric heater, any suitable form of which may be employed.

. The pitch of the helix and the inclination of opposite sides of theblades thereof toeach other are so proportioned as'to'produce apronounced wave in one direction alternating with a reversely extendedwave. a

. The inclined surfaces of the helix also serve to draw the strands ofhairinto the grooves and to compact them, so that when subjected toheat, they will retain a definite marcelled effect with the appearanceof increased ,depth and fullness. The invention is an improvement uponmy previous application Ser. No. 563,685 filed September 19th, 1931, foran improvement in waving and curling rod, and as in that. invention thestrand of hair wound upon th TQd may be wrappedin the usual-mannermoistened flannel cloth, and enclosed. in tin: foil and inserted in anelectrically heated I 1 f rod by means of ahook 6,.transvers'ely mov-f,a solution maybe applied that will tube. Also I i soften the hairunderthe actionof steam.

use the steam is applied to the hair upon the rod for several minutesuntil'the hair. be comes perfectly shaped or molded uponthe rod, afterwhich it is cooled and removed 1 lyset. In thismanner-greater depthofjwave Y i from the rod and the wave will be permanent j toward andfrom the head, as.well, as wide. alternately reversed waves areproduced.
